- The Florida Marlins’ everyday left-fielder Chris Coghlan tore his left meniscus tendon Sunday while delivering a pie to the face of teammate Wes Helms. While this is undoubtedly bad news for Coghlan and probably bad news for the Marlins, it might be good news for you if you own the speedy Emilo Bonifacio, Coghlan’s likely replacement in left. Bonifacio has hit .285 this season in limited at bats, and although he doesn’t provide much power he does figure to get on base, steal bases and score runs. At only 25 years old, Bonifacio still has a great deal of upside potential and could use this opportunity to cement himself as an everyday player, either with the Marlins or somewhere else. Also worth following will be the play of former Zephyrs standout Logan Morrison, who was called up to Florida when the Marlins put Coghlan on the disabled list.

- Newly-aquired Los Angeles Angels pitcher Dan Haren was struck in the forearm with a violent line drive back to the mound Monday night, and although Haren believes he will be able to make his next start, you might want to be cautious playing him. Haren quite simply has not been the same dominant pitcher that he was from 2007 to 2009, when he recorded three straight seasons with an ERA below four. This season, Haren’s ERA with the Diamondbacks was an underwhelming 4.57, and figures to suffer with the move to the less pitcher-friendly American League. If there are any lingering effects from this injury, Haren could really struggle in his next few starts.

- Despite being roughed up for eight runs in four innings in Monday’s 19-1 blowout to the Twins, Kansas City’s Zack Greinke could be a smart pickup. A nagging shoulder injury has kept Greinke from posting the same sort of numbers that he did in 2009, but reports out of Kansas City are that the injury, described as “soreness”, has improved. When he is healthy, Greinke still has dominating stuff and could be a low-cost pickup with a ton of upside.

-Washington Nationals rookie phenom Steven Strasburg was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday night due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder. This likely isn’t a serious long-term concern for Strasburg, but could become a factor this season, as the Nationals will not be taking any chances with the future of their franchise. Veteran reliever Miguel Batista made the emergency start for the Nats and pitched well – not allowing a run over five innings – and could be an interesting buy-low candidate, especially as Strasburg approaches his season pitch-count limit. It will be worth monitoring whether Washington continues to rely on Batista for emergency starts or brings in another starter capable of eating up more innings.
